Lubricate Your Door Locks for A Longer Lifespan

Many people put up with the inconvenience and frustration of sticking a key into a rusty lock that sticks. Ironically, cleaning your door locks and oiling them can fix most sticking locks in a matter of minutes. You don’t necessarily need to replace the lock, but can still get years of reliable service from it. Fixing your stubborn door lock may require some disassembling, cleaning and reassembling, but won’t it be worth it if you get to enjoy a smooth unlocking and locking process every day?

Avoid applying household oil door locks, as it attracts dirt, and will eventually lead to stuffing up the door lock. Instead, use a penetrating lubricant. Spray the lubricant into the keyhole itself, then on the actual key. Following this, merely slide the key in and out of the lock a couple of times in order to spread the lubricant.

Should this superficial cleaning and lubrication still prove ineffective at freeing the lock, take about ten minutes to disassemble, clean and reassemble the lock. It might be a hassle, but it is more than likely that you’ll completely eliminate the aggravation of dealing with a sticky lock altogether.
